Which are your favourite high-street brands? Monsoon and karen Millen.

Do you have any style icons? Christina Hendricks and Nigella Lawson – they both dress for their shape.

What outfts work best on screen? It has to be simple, slick and bright – nothing with frills and flounces – and Spanx are a must.

Where do you shop for your work wardrobe? Precis Petite and Fenn Wright Manson are great cuts for me – I’ve got narrow shoulders and a small back. Everything I wear istweeted by @debbiedresses and on the Good Morning Britain website.

What do you change into at home? My black onesie from Asda and a pair of fluffy slippers.

What is your best beauty secret? I take an omega oil blend, which helps to keep the brain sharp and relieve tiredness, and I love Elemis Cleansing Balm.

Are you a fan of vintage? No. I think it’s an immigrant thing – my parents didn’t come all this way, leaving everything they knew, to send me to school, only to buy second-hand clothes. Second-hand was a sign you hadn’t made it yet. I know it sounds snobby, but it’s not about that – it’s just a mind-set.

What is the best piece of fashion advice you have ever received? With the right underwear, you’ve won half the battle.

What is your current favourite outfit? A fitted Monsoon dress in petrol blue. It’s so versatile – I’ve worn it to lunch with friends, to pick my son up from nursery and to read the national news.

How much do you spend on clothes each month? Discounting my work wardrobe, only about a tenner since I’ve had my son, but I spend an absolute fortune on him.

What is the most ridiculous item you’ve ever bought? A pair of gold-trimmed, black, peep-toe shoes by Leona Edmiston. It was love at first sight. They didn’t have my size but I bought them anyway.

What is your best fashion bargain? A long, floaty evening gown from the M&S sale. It was only £12 and I wore it to an awards ceremony.

Have you got a favourite little black dress? I have two – one by Leona Edmiston and the other by French Connection. Both have colour and detail – I rarely wear all black.

What is the one item of clothing you couldn’t live without? My Red Herring black leggings.

Have you ever made a fashion faux pas? At university, I bought a blue silk mini dress to wear to a ball. It was too small and didn’t suit me, so I spent the whole night with my coat on.

What item of clothing would you save from a burning house? I’d pick up my son and as many of his clothes that I could carry. I wouldn’t worry about any of my stuff.
